hi, i'm typing with one hand as my right is in a sling due to a shoulder op so thats why there are not many capitals.

i live in burgess hill west sussex and have owned my r6 for 6 years, as i am now old and victor meldrew like and have worn out wrists,no not doing that, i tried higher bars but they looked crap, this is how it looks now, since i can't ride for a few months i am changing the front lights to a stacked pair, between the forks, pics will follow.

this is still an R6 goes like a R6, handles like a R6, more manuvarable in traffic, and a lot more comfortable.

have fun keep it upright,

graham

I'd call that bike, "the winker" :)

I have named her marmite, so how about winky marmite? winkmite? How about a new thread, "what do you call your bike?"
